Dr. Mark Hickman Shares His Vision for Reducing the Cost of Vasectomy Reversal Procedures

May 22, 2023

May 22, 2023 - /PressAdvantage/ - Dr. Mark Hickman is inviting men and families from across the nation to visit his vasectomy reversal ministry in New Braunfels, Texas, and get another chance at parenthood.

Microsurgical Vasectomy Reversals has, for several decades, been helping patients get vasectomy reversals, reliably and at an affordable cost. Dr. Hickman uses his years of experience as one of the country’s foremost experts in microsurgery to drive down the cost of vasectomy reversal procedures using the latest advancements in that field of surgery.

“I have dedicated my life to this as I consider it my duty towards Him,” says Dr. Hickman. “I believe that vasectomies fundamentally alter men in a way that conflicts with God’s plan for them. I also have a strong conviction that the efforts that are being made to promote the procedure are an affront to nature. As an expert in microsurgery, I feel, then, that I should do my part in reversing this trend in any capacity that I can. That was the vision that led me to start my vasectomy reversal ministry in New Braunfels and it is also what drives me to give it my all.”

Dr. Mark Hickman is an expert in laparoscopic (minimally invasive telescopic) procedures. Soon after he began his private practice in 1988, he emerged as an early pioneer in the field. Today, his accomplishments include the invention of several surgical instruments, a U.S. patent, and his recognition as a contributor to several other important minimally invasive patents.

Patients also come to Dr. Hickman because he is a man of strong Christian faith with a track record of serving the community outside of work. He is an active member of his church and is involved with the Men’s ACTS Retreat Ministry. He also currently serves on the Apostolate Board for the North American Province of the Missionaries of the Holy Family and on the Board of Directors of TIPHER (The Institute for Public Education, Health, and Research).

At Microsurgical Vasectomy Reversals, Dr. Hickman offers two all-inclusive affordable vasectomy reversal options. The microsurgical vasectomy reversal cost option of $3,300 includes local anesthesia and an oral sedative. The $4,200 offer is performed under IV sedation and is administered by a Board-Certified Anesthesiologist. Both microsurgical options are all-inclusive with no hidden fees.

During the procedure, the doctor performs a microsurgical repair of the vas deferens with a powerful operating microscope and fine nylon suture (much finer than a human hair). A typical repair requires 10-15 stitches. The goal of the procedure is to create a direct and careful alignment of the lumen of the two ends of the vas deferens and a watertight closure for a higher success rate.

Several of Dr. Hickman’s patients have thanked him time and time again for the lasting impact he had on their lives. On the practice’s Google Business Profile, which has a near-perfect overall rating of 4.9 out of 5.0 from over 60 reviews, patients praise the caring and compassionate services offered by Dr. Hickman’s staff, the affordability of the procedure, and the results they saw.

An excerpt from a recent review thanking the vasectomy reversal surgeon says, “I am so thankful and blessed to say that we got pregnant on our first try!! I am currently 16 weeks, and we have a healthy baby boy growing in my tummy! This is such an answer to prayer, and we are so grateful for you and your team! It had been 4 years since my husband's vasectomy and we knew the percentages were lowered for us, but praise be to God that everything worked! In surgery, you told us that it looked good, and you were right! Thank you for using your gifts and talents for the Lord, and thank you for praying with us before you started the surgery. We truly believe our son is a gift from God and we are forever grateful!”

Janeena Chan, Teejay Marquez make self-care a priority with BlueWater Day Spa

Janeena Chan, Teejay Marquez make self-care a priority with BlueWater Day Spa 

Taking a break can be just as important as putting in the work. For Janeena Chan and Teejay Marquez, finding time to rest and care for themselves is a conscious choice that helps them navigate demanding schedules.   As BlueWater Day Spa ambassadors, they encourage others to make wellness a priority, from enjoying massages to establishing routines that allow the body and mind to recharge.   For Chan, an event host whose work requires adaptability and constant interaction with people, self-care means setting aside time to recover after a busy schedule. Actor and model Marquez, on the other hand, follows a routine that combines adequate sleep, exercise and regular massages to help him manage the physical demands of his profession.   Rest and reconnect   More than just delivering lines onstage, each event hosting for Chan comes with a different audience, setting and atmosphere, requiring her to prepare thoroughly while ensuring that guests remain engaged and comfortable.   “I love getting to meet different people from all walks of life and that it’s always a different setting and playground each time. As the master of ceremonies, you are responsible for the tone of the event and for the energy that you put out there,” Chan said in an interview with The Manila Times.    With the demands of her work, Chan considers scheduled breaks essential. She makes time for massages at BlueWater Day Spa, where she said treatments help ease muscle tension and discomfort.   “Scheduling days where I can be off and be allowed to relax is definitely a must. My non-negotiables are having my favorite massages at BlueWater Day Spa. Their therapists are all so well trained at removing all the knots in my tired muscles and alleviating the pain in my body,” Chan said.   When visiting BlueWater, she prefers treatments that allow her to relax without worrying about her workload. She particularly enjoys the spa’s signature Traditional Filipno massage or the Authentic Chiang Mai Thai Massage which she said helps address areas of discomfort after a hectic week.   “I usually look for massages that will really target my pain points in my body, like yung mga lamig. I love their signature hilot massage, and knowing that I can turn my brain off for a few hours and just soak in the satisfying pamper session at BlueWater Day Spa,” she said.  For Chan, spa visits are also an opportunity to spend quality time with her mother and manager, Sally Chan.   “Actually, it is my favorite bonding activity together with my mom and manager, Mommy Sally. We spend most of our time working together, so getting to be pampered together is such a treat that we always look forward to,” she said.   She added that the spa’s atmosphere makes the experience particularly enjoyable.   “The spa really sets a conducive atmosphere where we can really rest, unwind and feel rejuvenated right after,” Chan said.   Her partnership with BlueWater also reflects her advocacy for wellness and health awareness. Chan, who said she experienced Bell’s palsy 10 years ago, hopes to use her platform to encourage people to pay attention to their well-being and avoid taking their health for granted.   “I’m truly so grateful to be their new ambassador, and I feel like it’s also such a fitting partnership because I am such an advocate for wellness, being a massage and spa fan myself,” she said.    “Also, being a Bell’s palsy awareness advocate, having half my face paralyzed 10 years ago due to stress and lack of real rest, it’s all a great opportunity for me to use my voice in reminding my community to not take their health for granted and prioritize their wellness,” she added.     Building recovery into routine   Like Chan, Marquez recognizes that maintaining a demanding career requires attention to personal well-being.  “Despite all the shoots and events I attend, I always make sure to get at least eight hours of sleep daily. I also find time to work out for one to two hours and treat myself to a really good massage at least once a week to help my body recover,” Marquez said.   His approach to self-care has evolved as he has become more conscious of his health.  “For me, self-care is a reward I give myself after a series of demanding schedules. Especially now that I’m not getting any younger anymore, I’ve learned to prioritize my health and wellness,” the actor noted.   Marquez was already a regular client of BlueWater Day Spa before becoming an ambassador. He said the treatments and personalized service have kept him returning to the wellness establishment.   “Being a BlueWater brand ambassador is truly meaningful to me because it aligns with something I genuinely value: self-care, relaxation and overall wellness. This partnership is more than just representing a brand. It’s about promoting the importance of taking a step back, recharging and giving ourselves the care we deserve,” he said.    “I’m a big fan of massages, so my favorite treatment at BlueWater Day Spa is the Athlete’s Massage. It’s the perfect treatment to relieve muscle tension, help my body recover and recharge after a long day. It’s definitely one of my go-to treatments,” Marquez said.  For people who struggle to make time for themselves because of professional demands, Marquez advises putting health first. He views personal well-being as an investment that should not be sacrificed for work.   “My advice is to always prioritize your health and well-being above everything else. At the end of the day, our body is our greatest investment, especially when our work demands so much of our time and energy,” he said.    Indeed for Chan and Marquez, prioritizing wellness means recognizing that caring for oneself is essential to showing up for work, family and the people who matter.    Branches and services   BlueWater Day Spa offers a range of treatments, including Traditional Filipino Massage, Traditional Balinese Massage, Swedish Massage, Chiang Mai Thai Massage, Athlete’s Massage, and body scrubs. Hand and foot treatments are also available.   Guests may visit BlueWater Day Spa at Eton Square along Ortigas Avenue in Greenhills, San Juan (0917-815-6659), open daily from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m.; One Banawe Plaza on Banawe Street in Quezon City, (0947-896-5075), open daily from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m.; at Estancia Mall at Capitol Commons in Pasig, at 0917-881-0092, open Monday to Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
